Mason Pearson Large Extra Pure Bristle Brush, $395
“400 dollars for a hair brush?!” we hear you say, but just hear us out. Coveted by every beauty editor is the Mason Pearson Pure Bristle Brush, and for good reason. Legend has it, the brush’s precise spacing of the boar and nylon bristles is what makes this exxy indulgence worth every cent. They’re just close enough to provide the best brush and shine, and far enough apart to detangle effectively. From now on, if you ever hear the expression ‘rich girl hair’ you’ll know where it came from.
Lancôme 1001 Roses, 75mL, $220
Rose-based fragrances are notoriously expensive, and this one from Lancôme is no exception. With petals sourced from Turkey and Bulgaria, this blend creates a luxuriously warm and floral scent. Each spritz is a little taste of indulgence.
La Mer Crème de la Mer, 30mL, $225
Super luxe, this rich moisturising indulgence has the power to transform your skin by restoring radiance and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Containing La Mer’s signature Miracle Broth, sea kelp, eucalyptus and sunflower oils, Créme de la Mer will cost you a pretty penny, but we think is totally worth the splurge. Really want to indulge? 500mL will cost you a cool $2,770. Gives new meaning to the saying, ‘you get what you pay for’, right?
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Perle, $55
There’s lipstick, and then there’s YSL lipstick. Creamy and nourishing, this lippy not only looks good on the lips, but comes in a luxurious gold case with the elegant YSL logo. The ultra-creamy formula boasts the purest of pigments for unashamedly bold colour with a silky finish. Keep this beauty in your purse at ALL times – you never know when you’ll need to bring the heat.
EVE LOM Intense Hydration Serum, 30mL $140
Superbly lightweight, this concentrate boosts the skin’s level of hyaluronic acid, helping to rehydrate parched and stressed out skin. Ultra luxe in feel, the active ingredients help give a more radiant, younger-looking complexion. Sure, it might be expensive, but for smoother, moisturised and nourished skin, we’ll pay the price.
Shu Uemura Art Of Hair Ultimate Remedy Extreme Restoration Treatment, 200mL, $67
When a product promises to repair your locks, you hand over your money without asking questions. As the name suggests, this extreme restoration treatment contains the highest dose of ceramide which enables it to deeply repair and nourish your locks from within.
Aromaxioma Artisan, $110
Also on our splurge list, the Aromaxioma Artisan is an opulent choice. The diffuser, humidifier and purifier releases a scent of essential oils which are perfect for the home, and enhance the effect of aromatherapy. Relaxation has never been so luxurious.
WelleCo The Super Elixir, 300g, $145
Co-founded by Elle Macpherson, WelleCo’s The Super Elixir is a balanced blend of super-greens and probiotics which aim to assist the body in wellness and vitality. Enriching the hair, skin and nails, while also supporting brain, kidney and liver functions, this cult supplement is not only good for your insides, but to quote welleco.com.au, makes a “beautiful addition to your kitchen”. At $145 for 300g, it better.
Essenze by Ermenegildo Zegna Indonesian Oud, 125mL, $250
Crafted around the rare oud wood with a fragrance that features rose, amber, patchouli and Italian bergamot, this unisex scent is one for the senses. We did the math, and at $2/mL, make sure you save your spritzes for something special.
Fornasetti Giant Pennini Candle, $715
Savour every hour this candle burns, because at $715, you’ll want to enjoy it! This alluring scent contains top notes of thyme and lavender, orris and tolu balsam and is housed in a hand-crafted ceramic vessel.

So I have no other option than to really check up how he works. I was totally devastated when my beloved husband left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustful.

He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema and the restaurant. My husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! I believe those who need help should get to him for help. May God continue to use you to save broken relationships.
